The Quality Score for ACGL stands at 7.4 out of 10 as of October 16, 2026, which puts Arch Capital Group Ltd in the high quality band. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. It rolls Arch Capital Group Ltd’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Set against 261 Financials companies, Arch Capital Group Ltd lands at the 89th percentile, inside the top quarter of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.9 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Arch Capital Group Ltd well above the median.
On profitability, Arch Capital Group Ltd scores 7.9, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.8 across 255 Financials companies, which places it above them, at the 78th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.
Solvency has no score for Arch Capital Group Ltd. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 140 Financials companies is 8.5. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
On growth, Arch Capital Group Ltd scores 8.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.6 across 241 Financials companies, which places it well above them, at the 92nd percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency scores 9.8 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 211 Financials companies is 5.8, so Arch Capital Group Ltd is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 90th percentile. A strong efficiency reading usually shows up as healthy cash conversion: reported profit arriving as real cash rather than staying on the balance sheet.
On predictability, Arch Capital Group Ltd scores 4.5, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 256 Financials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 42nd percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
The gap between Arch Capital Group Ltd’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 9.8 against predictability at 4.5, 5.3 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.
Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Financials companies, 4.9, Arch Capital Group Ltd would score about 7.5 instead of 7.4. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
